Listening to: Breaking Benjamin-Firefly
Feeling: sinful
Well I woke up this morning at 7 to go the the gym and felt like crap. I had a freakin headache, my throat hurt so bad I could barely swallow, and I couldn't breathe out of one side of my nose, so I called my boss at home and told him what was going on and asked if there was anyway I could not come into work today and his reply was that anyone could do what they wanted to do, so he would get out of bed and get to the store as soon as possible. It kind of pissed me off because I go in whenever he needs someone, I've covered his ass before and then he replys like that...its not like I put him in a big bind or anything. I called him at 7:15 and if you're opening the store you don't have to be there until 9:30, so I don't know what his problem was. I love my manager, I really do, he's a great guy, he just isn't cut out for the job that he has. He got hired cause the manager that was there before him got promoted. He's never worked for the company or anything like the company before, so therefore it's very difficult for him to adjust, but honestly, I don't think he's trying very hard. He is a great salesperson and he's very easy to talk to, he's just not cut out for the paperwork end of it though. Example: A few weeks ago a friend of his heard me and another coworker talking about the scheduling because he won't have the schedule out for the next week until Friday and the schedule starts on sunday. So for the past 3 weeks or so he's been pretty good about it, but I guess he's getting relaxed about it cause yesterday it wasn't posted....so I don't know what's gonna happen with that...if I wasn't starting school in the fall, I would take the job once he gets booted out cause I think it's gonna happen...I really don't look for him to be there a full year and if he is its going to shock the hell out of me because I just can't see him sitting behind paperwork all day. But the thing is, if he would concentrate on it and get it done, he wouldn't be back there all day working on it. His supervisor came in and was complaining to me about him coming in at 5:30 in the morning and asking me if I knew why and I told her cause of the paperwork and she proceeded to tell me that it shouldn't take him that long and I told her he is just gettting adjusted. But she pointed out that he has now been there four months and should be adjusted and I realize that not everyone learns at the same speed but he is a smart man and he should have adjusted by now...I know one issue is that he is not good at math...and there is a lot of math involved in figuring out the weekly reports and what not, but damn...I just don't understand it, I know it's difficult, but not that difficult. Oh well, there's my venting about that. Well I slept until 11 and then I got up and Michael went to the store to get me some nyquil and I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding (I love that movie) and then I fell asleep for about an hour and a half and then Michael cooked dinner and we watched Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. That movie was fucking funny! Funniest part: "Dude! Did Dougie Howser just steal my fucking car?" I laughed so hard I almost threw up...maybe you just have to watch the movie...Well I'm gonna try to go to sleep now cause I have to work in the morning, hopefully the schedule will be out and it says I have Sunday and Monday off so I can recover from this crap. Oh yeah, he hired someone else and although when I took the job he said I would be getting 35 hours a week, I only have 30 and he said we can't go over our scheduled hours anymore and since I called in today I only have 24, that's going to make for a small ass paycheck...oh well, night everybody.
